Petra began her career in Frankfurt Germany in 1984 where she apprenticed with Gert Bloeser for three years. A regular participant in regional hair competitions, Petra continued her training at Wella and Goldwell seminars. Having moved to the United States in 1991, Petra worked first at Alexander de Paris, and then later at Salon Nordine before finally opening her own shop, Salon Fusion. While at Alexander de Paris, Petra attended and contributed to some of New York's largest and most prominent hair conventions. She continues to update her training at Wella and Goldwell seminars. As owner and operator of Salon Fusion, Petra encourages and supports the continuing training of all her stylists.

Petra enjoys the art of cutting and styling women's hair, but she's also very accomplished at men's styles, and enjoys helping men find updated new looks. She takes delight in the craftsmanship of clipper cutting and the freedom of color

Petra is the absolute best! She was my stylist for many years until I moved from VA to WA. It has been 7 years since I moved and I have yet to find anyone as accomplished as Petra. Whether a woman's cut/style/color or a men's haircut, you can't go wrong developing a relationship with Petra. - John Ross, Cypress, TX
